Citation Managers

Zotero is a free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organize, cite, and share your research sources.

To get started, register for a free Zotero account at zotero.org/user/register. If you've already created an account, you can log in at zotero.org/user/login.

For an overview of Zotero's features and capabilities, see the Quick Start Guide.

Zotero is primarily a program that runs on your own computer. You can also access your web library on zotero.org. However, while the web library allows you to view and edit your data and access synced files, for full functionality you’ll want to install Zotero on each synced computer.

Download Zotero for Mac, Windows, or Linux at zotero.org/download.

All of Zotero's detailed documentation can be found at zotero.org/support.
